My heart is overflowing with joy and gratefulness today. 

On a whim earlier this year, I entered some of last year’s best photos in a contest. The Shoot and Share Contest runs each year and accepted over 1.1 million photos this year from photographers in over 13 countries. 

These two photos placed in the top 30%. 

I’m humbled. 

I’m honored. 

I’m grateful for the amazing people that trust me to capture their memories. 

As excited as I am to share these photos and how well they did- It’s even more important to me to take a moment to thank you for coming on this journey with me. 

Thank you. 

Thank you for sharing in this journey.

Thank you for trusting me with your memories. 

Thank you for telling me your stories. 

Thank you for letting me get to know you. 

Thank you for sharing in my wins.
